Foreclosed America
Isaac Martin & Christopher Niedt

   "Isaac Martin and Christopher Niedt offer the first examination of the human impacts of the foreclosure crisis, and in so doing speak to our collective failure to rise to the challenge of Wall Street's domination of our politics and public policy. In bringing these dispossessed and invisible homeowners into full view, Martin and Niedt call upon us to address once and for all the roots and impacts of the crisis.”—Brian Kettenring, Co-Executive Director, Center for Popular Democracy

   From 2007 to 2012, almost five percent of American adults—about ten million people—lost their homes because they could not make mortgage payments. The scale of this home mortgage crisis is unprecedented—and it's not over. Foreclosures still displace more American homeowners every year than at any time before the twenty-first century. The dispossession and forced displacement of American families affects their health, educational success, and access to jobs. It continues to block any real recovery in the hardest-hit communities.

   While we now know a lot about how this crisis affected the global economy, we still know very little about how it affected the people who lost their homes. Foreclosed America offers the first representative portrait of those people—who they are, how and where they live after losing their homes, and what they have to say about their finances, their neighborhoods, and American politics. It is a sobering picture of Americans down on their luck, and of a crisis that is testing American democracy.

  Short Abstract What is it like to lose your home in contemporary urban
Europe? How are credit conditions and foreclosure processes affecting the
population's right to dignified housing? How is the impossibility of buying
a house for the young affecting family relations throughout Europe?   Long
Abstract

Throughout urban Europe, the rhythm of home foreclosure due to mortgage
defaulting does not seem to have abated over the past few years.
Furthermore, young people who remain unemployed or underemployed in large
numbers are finding it impossible to achieve home ownership. This alters
family relations, people's lifecycles, and people's sense of self-worth but
it also corresponds to a general trend affecting the class composition of
European society. Compounded with a sharp reduction in the quality of state
support, this means that a large part of the population is experiencing a
sharp reduction of their rights of citizenship. How do people deal with the
impending loss of residence and the related class implications? How does
this process of destabilization and dispossession affect people's relation
to their future? What are the implications of the lack of a house of one's
own for kinship networks, social life and personal dignity? How is credit
inaccessibility affecting transgenerational property transfers? Recognised
as a fundamental human right, the right to dignified housing is also
established in most European constitutions and yet, throughout the Europe
of austerity, this basic right is being systematically bypassed. People
lose their houses most commonly because they lose their salaried work.
Youth unemployment and underemployment, however, are here to stay. What is
the impact of this process in people's position as citizens, as kinsmen,
and on personal self-worth?
